Itinerary


DAY 1

Arrival in Split

Upon arrival in Split, you will be welcomed and transferred from the airport to your accommodation, where you can settle in and recover from your journey. From here begins a carefully designed 7-day adventure through Dalmatia—an active journey across islands, rivers, canyons, and coastline. Expect a mix of kayaking, off-road buggy rides, cycling routes, and outdoor exploration, all set against some of the most striking landscapes in the region. This is not just sightseeing, but a hands-on experience of the land and sea—filled with movement, discovery, and moments that will stay with you long after the journey ends.

DAY 2

Split Active Intro: Sea Kayak & Marjan Trails

Your adventure begins in the green heart of Split at Marjan Forest Park, a peaceful pine-covered peninsula overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Upon arrival, you will start your journey with an unforgettable sea kayaking experience along the stunning Split coastline. Paddle across crystal-clear waters, glide past hidden coves and rugged cliffs, and enjoy panoramic views of the city from the sea. Along the way, there is time to swim, relax in bays, and experience Split from a completely different perspective—out on the water, away from the crowds.

Day 3

Brač Island Off-Road Adventure & Adriatic Escape

Today you set out from Split by boat towards the island of Brač, one of the most rugged and diverse islands in the Adriatic. As you sail across the sea, the coastline slowly gives way to limestone cliffs, hidden coves, and dramatic island landscapes—an early hint of the adventure ahead.

Day 4

Plitvice Lakes National Park: Waterfalls & Wooden Trails

Today you leave the Adriatic coast behind and travel inland towards one of Croatia’s most iconic natural wonders—Plitvice Lakes National Park. The journey takes you through changing landscapes, from coastal scenery to green inland hills and forests, gradually building anticipation for what awaits.

Day 5

Hvar Island: Catamaran Crossing & MTB Freedom Ride

Today you continue your journey by catamaran across the Adriatic to the sun-drenched island of Hvar, known for its dramatic landscapes, crystal-clear sea, and winding coastal and inland trails. The arrival by sea already sets the tone—rocky hills rising from turquoise waters, scattered islands on the horizon, and a landscape made for exploration.

Day 6

Cetina Canyon: Zipline & White Water Rafting Adrenaline Day

The final active day of your journey is dedicated entirely to adrenaline, set in the dramatic inland landscape of the Cetina River canyon near Omiš. Here, steep limestone cliffs, deep green waters, and rugged canyon terrain create one of the most exciting natural playgrounds in Dalmatia.

Day 7

Farewell to Dalmatia & Departure

After your final breakfast in Split, it is time to transfer to the airport and begin your journey home. As your time in Dalmatia comes to an end, we hope this adventure has given you far more than just a collection of places visited. From kayaking along the Split coastline and cycling across island trails, to off-road buggy rides, canyon ziplining, rafting, and the quiet beauty of national parks—each day has been a different way of experiencing this landscape, not as a spectator, but as part of it.
